But the story, and its players, proved far more complicated than the heart-warming narrative that boosted the trio — Bobbitt and a Burlington County couple, Kate McClure and Mark D'Amico — into the international news cycle.

Here's what you might not have known about the homeless veteran from North Carolina fighting to recoup the hundreds of thousands of dollars donated to him, and the couple who raised, and may have spent spent, all the money.

To replay him, McClure, a secretary with the state Department of Transportation, and her boyfriend, D'Amico, who said he works as a carpenter, started a GoFundMe. They hoped to raise a few thousand dollars to get Bobbitt off the streets. To everyone's surprise, they raked in $400,000, earning all three international praise for selfless efforts.

But in the near year since, the once-happy relationship between the trio has soured, with Bobbitt accusing the couple of holding his money, and the pair defending the decision, saying they had sheltered the donations from Bobbitt, who had already blown through $25,000 in 13 days — a little more than $1,900 a day — to feed the very drug habit that rendered him homeless to begin with.

After an initial appearance, D'Amico failed to return court at least three times in 2017 and 2018. Each time, he lost the bail money he had posted - for a total of $1,100.

He was then arrested Monday evening at his home on charges stemming from a 2017 incident, in Burlington County, in which he was pulled over for a broken tail light. Because there was a warrant out for his arrest, he was initially detained, and released upon supplying the proper documentation.

Police issued summonses for driving with a suspended license, failure to surrender his driver's license after suspension, and failing to maintain his lamps. He did not appear in court.

D'Amico was taken Monday to the Burlington County Jail in lieu of the cash bail, but posted the owed $500.01 sometime Tuesday.

In July 2016, Bobbitt was convicted of criminal trespass in Philadelphia and was ordered to pay $179 in fees.

The next year he was found guilty of possession of a controlled substance and sentenced to 12 months probation after an attempt to put him in a diversionary program was revoked. Bobbitt, who was homeless at the time, was also cited for multiple failures to appear in that case.

The attorney who represented Bobbitt in that case did not respond to a request for comment from NJ Advance Media.
